I built FadNote because I realized that while services like Privnote or Yopass exist, they often feel like an "interruption" to a developer's flow. You have to leave your terminal, open a browser, paste, and copy again.
FadNote is designed for integration, not just web-visiting. The goal is to provide a zero-knowledge "utility layer" that lives where you already work:
OpenClaw Skill: For AI-powered workflow automation.
CLI First: A zero-dependency Node.js script to pipe secrets directly from your terminal (echo "secret" | fadnote).
Obsidian Plugin (In Dev): To share snippets directly from your knowledge base.
The Security Model (Trust-less):
Local Encryption: Secrets are encrypted via AES-256-GCM with 600,000 PBKDF2 iterations before they leave your machine.
The URL Fragment: The decryption key is stored in the URL fragment (#key). Since browsers never send fragments to the server, I literally cannot read your data even if I wanted to.
One-Time & Faded: The encrypted blob is deleted from the server immediately after the first read or after the TTL expires.
Why I’m posting here: I’ve integrated this into OpenClaw and am finishing the Obsidian plugin. However, I’m looking for feedback on where this "fading note" utility belongs next.
The real question for you: Aside from IDEs (VS Code) or CI/CD pipelines, where else should I integrate this to make sharing temporary secrets frictionless in a professional workflow?

I’m eager to hear your thoughts on both the crypto implementation and the next integration targets!
